The primary registration period for MFLM teams is the month of May, prior to spring practices and preseason exhibition games.

Many additional players do register between May and September.

The MFLM season runs from August through the end of October.

A player may be added to a team's roster as late as 48 hours after a team's second-last regular season game (MFLM By-Law 3).

The MFLM does not institute any fair-play policies regulating minimum playing-time for each player. Playing-time is determined by each team's coaching staff, and is typically based on such factors as ability, effort, and regular attendance at team practices/functions.

Each football club/team may have different registration fees and practice schedules. Please check with your Club for more information.

Game schedules are determined by the Midget Football League of Manitoba and are made available during the month of July.
